Ancient Egyptian Dream Books

Ancient Egyptian Dream Books were specialized texts that interpreted the meanings of dreams, serving as guides to understanding messages from the spiritual world. They categorized common dreams and symbols—like animals, objects, or actions—and provided explanations linking them to future events, personal health, or divine will. These texts reflected the Egyptians' belief that dreams were meaningful communications from gods or spirits, offering insights into one’s life and fate. Dream books were used to interpret dreams for personal guidance, religious rituals, or to predict outcomes, illustrating how deeply intertwined their spirituality and daily life were.
